Re: is there a page which explains this 26,000 year alignment in a way that is simple?

I would like to know how Nibiru fits into this Galactic alignment. Anyone have that info. ?

Good thread OP! I'll have a cup of coffee as well and keep searching.

From what I was told many years ago is that we will have the 3 days of darkness at this time when we are passing through this. However we have never been there before, or at least not that WE as humans know of, and that on the other side of the "Plate" We do not know what is there, this is where I believe Nibiru may be if it really does exist, which we have no proof of, but if we pass through this so called plate area, we will find out many things. including far more meteors from what a friend told me far more planets in that area, and so much more. I guess we will find out once we get there.

I watched some special on H2 about the lost book of Nostradamus and the interpretation of his prophetic drawings. One of these was this alignment, in the image of an 8 point wheel. He explained it pretty easily.

Re: is there a page which explains this 26,000 year alignment in a way that is simple?

Ok, this is my understanding of the issue.

1.) The earth spins around it's own axis2.) The earth orbits around the sun.

This 26000 year event has to do with 1.), as the spin is "loose" in the sense that the imaginary "spindle" the earth is rotating around is itself in a circular motion (one analogy is a the movement of a gyroscope as it is about to lose it's balance and then regaining it). And it is this circular motion of the imaginary spindle that is now approaching one whole revolution around.

The wobble (as they call it) of the Earth's axis is a slow circular movement (with respect to the celestial sphere aka the "fixed" stars). It has a period of 26000 years. The declination of the galactic center is at -29 degrees from the celestial equator, thus the Earth axis doesn't align somehow with the galactic center. So there is no connection of precession (wobble) of the axis and the (almost) 26000 period with any kind of alignment with the galactic center.

Re: is there a page which explains this 26,000 year alignment in a way that is simple?

The Earth is spinning at an angle of 22 degrees relative to the plane of the planets and sun. The axis of rotation wobbles like a top, but very slowly. The axis itself rotates around a circle that takes 26,000 years to complete.

Because of the wobble, the Winter solstice points at different constellations throughout the 26,000 year cycle.

Yeah, but it won't get out of pointing Polaris (and thus Ursa Minor) in the next few days. So, no weird alignment doom....

i understand that, i think.what i really need is a holodeck to go on and for their to be a huge projection of this all around me so i can interact with it in a 3d way.

Re: is there a page which explains this 26,000 year alignment in a way that is simple?

Here's an easy illustration to understand what the "wobble"part is.... a lot of people don't get that part when you tryto explain it.

That the answer to this question is primarily astronomical in nature is supported by two important clues. First, the calendar restarts on the winter solstice, an astronomical event. Second, the overall length of the calendar is related to the precession of the earth, another astronomical phenomenon. Precession is the very slow wobble of the earth. Remember, the earth is spinning on its axis and this axis of rotation is tilted. When we observe the direction that this axis is pointing, we see that the entire earth wobbles like a top that is not standing straight up. Again, this is called precession and it takes about 26,000 years for the earth to complete one wobble. By the way, this 26,000-year period is sometimes called “the great year.” [link to www.grahamhancock.com]

FYI... I don't believe ET created the Mayan calendar....this just happensto be a good explanation of the 26,000 year cycle.

bugs me how nasa says " Each December the Earth and sun align with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy but that is an annual event of no consequence." but that is not what alignment people are talking about in 2012. it really is an alignment that happens every 26,000 years. i'm trying to find a page that will describe it accurately and simply. but yes, this is disinfo in that yes, what they say is true, BUT what they fail to leave out is that the mayan calendar is not referring to this annual alignment.

and i would like a simple page i can point to for my friends to understand because i am having a hard time explaining it.

There is a website with an interactive solar system and a slider which rotates the planets positions through days and years and i cant for the life in me think where to find it but i hope my explanation helps someone to know what i'm talking about because it will be ideal for an example of what your looking for

That.... would be cool.

Just scour Graham Hancock's site....read "Fingerprints of the Gods"if you haven't already. He explains it all so handily.

Re: is there a page which explains this 26,000 year alignment in a way that is simple?

btw, i am not saying dec 21st is the end or a doomsday or whatever. i just want to be able to understand this alignment.

from what i have gathered so far, it seems that right now we have been viewing the milky way from a particular angle for the last 26,000 years and on dec 21st we will be on our journey to seeing the milky way from the "other side" of it.

so we will be seeing the opposite side of the milky way because we are passing through it.

something like that.

I don't think it works they way you're saying...

The precession is a complete cycle that lasts AROUND 26000 years...

BUT, there is no way to determine when this cycle "starts" and "ends"...

In 2012, the position of the Earth axis is the same position as it was aound 26000 years ago.

BUT, that means nothing, because in 1789 the position of the Earth axis is the same position as it was aound 26000 years before 1789...

Re: is there a page which explains this 26,000 year alignment in a way that is simple?

Maybe some things are not meant to be explained. Maybe you should ask your friends to experience it and then you can all get together, have a party, then explain to each other what the experience meant.

There is no 26,000 year alignment. DOOMies are just desperately looking for ANY kind of alignment that they can pin to the end of the Mayan Calendar. First, it was the Galactic Alignment, but as you mention, that's been proven to happen every year. Then it was a planetary alignment, but that's been proven false. Then it was a planetary alignment with the Giza pyramids, but that's come and gone.

There Earth does complete one full precession every 26,000 years, but this has no specific relationship to 2012. [link to en.wikipedia.org]
